Welcome Back Greenmont Staff!
Thursday, August 15 is our first day back as a staff. United Bank is providing breakfast in the lounge around 7:30 am. We will begin our mandatory staff meeting at 8:00 am in the cafeteria. For the meeting, please bring the manilla envelope I placed in your mailbox, your phone and a pen, but leave everything else in your classroom. Please do not bring things to work on as I need your full attention to go over the important information. WCS expects us to take a full two hours, but with your attention we can go quicker.
Our entire staff will be seated in the cafeteria so meet new staff members including Patty Stansberry and her aide Stone Allman, Missy's aide Cinda Parsons, and 1:1 aides Mindi Bower, Leslie Myers and Amy McCoy. Sandi Wiseman will be R.C.'s 1:1 sub aide until that position is filled. We have a ton of important things to go over and I want to free you up as much as possible to get your things done in your rooms. See you in the morning!

Grizzlies!
As you enjoyed your first day of summer break, our staff was at school today having meetings and being trained in CPR/AED/Bleed Kit. Just like our students, we continue to grow and learn.
In a time when education is changing rapidly, one of the constants has been the absolute awesome job our staff does. I can't thank our staff enough for all of the hard work, expertise, and dedication it puts forth each and every day . I know that I see the huge impact our staff makes and I sincerely hope our Greenmont community does as well. On behalf of the best staff in our great state, have a wonderful summer break!
Great Grizzlies!
We had another awesome day today between our 4th Nine Weeks' awards assembly and reward activity. On Friday, May 31 we will have our final safety drills of the year at 8:40am then we have the talent show at 1:30pm.
On Monday, June 3 we will have a brief ceremony by our playground as we dedicate our Student Council's "Buddy Bench" in honor of Greenmont alumni, Evan Pritchett. We are very proud of our Student Council for raising money for this special bench that will bring students together for years to come. The Cook's Choice lunch on June 3 is a calzone.
The final day of school is Tuesday, June 4 and our cook's choice lunch that day is corn dogs.
Class assignments, report cards, attendance certificates, honor roll certificates, 2024-25 suggested supply lists and an end of the year letter will be in the mail a week or two after the last day of school. Thank you all for a phenomenal year so far at Greenmont!

By participating in this program, you can help support the health and well-being of children in your community, ensuring they have the fuel they need to thrive and enjoy their summer activities to the fullest.
